Winner of the Caforio prize for the best book in armed forces and
civil-military relations published between 2015 and 2016 In On
Military Memoirs Esmeralda Kleinreesink offers insight into
military books: who were their writers and publishers, what were
their plots, and what motives did their authors have for writing
them. Every Afghanistan war autobiography published in the US, the
UK, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands between 2001 and 2010 is
compared quantitatively and qualitatively. On Military Memoirs
shows that soldier-authors are a special breed; that self-published
books still cater to different markets than traditionally published
ones; that cultural differences are clearly visible between warrior
nations and non-warrior nations; that not every contemporary memoir
is a disillusionment story; and that writing is serious business
for soldiers wanting to change the world. The book provides an
innovative example of how to use interdisciplinary, mixed-method,
cross-cultural research to analyse egodocuments.
